Cesar rockets one to first...amazing that LaRoche could corral that one. One down.
“The crows seem to be calling my name,” thought Caw.
I'm stunned LaRoche got in front of that ball Izturis hit. He's got a wife and kids to think about.
That's why you bat Izturis at #2, before Votto. JV protects him, so he can see pitches like that. Allowing Cesar to be Cesar. Dude's literally been pitched around his entire career. His career stats offer no other logical conclusion.

Strike 3 called on Votto. That same pitch was called a ball on Denard Span last inning.
if votto doesn't swing it must be a ball
Reds have 2 hits in their last 14 innings. No score after 3 1/2.
right now, the batter order doesn't matter, nobody is hitting. maybe it's the corky miller effect?
Great play by Phillips to throw Lombardozzi out at first on a bouncer up the middle. One out.
The ghosts of Drew Stubbs and the Donkey must be lingering around the Reds' dugout because this team is striking out at an alarming rate. Tied for 2nd most in MLB.
2-2 pitch to Harper called ball 3, but it was strike 3 on Votto. Now he triples. Good job, ump. Way to be consistent.
I hate Harper.
its amazing a kid being just 20 can hit like he can like its easy and our wonderful hitters as a team cant find first base on a consistent basis. AND it seems on the road our team is always playing behind..grrrr
Just got in from playing with my new tractor to see the offense is still somewhere near the Arctic and Harper drops a 3 bagger followed by a drawn-in single
ugh
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
You know, the Reds were crap for over a decade and never got a pitcher even close to as good as Strasburg is or a hitter even on the same planet as Harper with their high draft picks.
